The “Federal Reserve Bank” (Fed) is not part of the United States Government. The Fed is a private, for-profit corporation ultimately owned by eight elite banking families:

1. Rothschild’s of London and Berlin2. Lazard Brothers of Paris3. Israel Moses Seaf of Italy4. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of Germany and New York5. Warburg & Company of Hamburg, Germany6. Lehman Brothers of New York7. Goldman, Sachs of New York8. Rockefeller Brothers of New York

In the year of 2000 there were eight countries without a Rothschild owned or controlled Central Bank:Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria. One fact that strongly suggests that the Rothchilds wield power over governments is the fact that countries which do not have a central bank owned by the Rothschilds are antagonized by the United States. Cuba, North Korea, and Iran as of 2017 are the countries left without Rothschild owned or controlled Central Banks

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 established the Federal Reserve System as the central bank of the United States to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system. The law sets out the purposes, structure, and functions of the System as well as outlines aspects of its operations and accountability. Congress has the power to amend the Federal Reserve Act, which it has done several times over the years. The complete act, as amended, is provided here by section.

Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of The United States of America and President when the Federal Reserve was created.

..we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world—no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.

— The New Freedom by Woodrow Wilson (Twelve paragraphs under the chapter titled: IX BENEVOLENCE, OR JUSTICE?)

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

— Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence

All of the above is from Woodrow Wilson's The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous Energies of a People (New York and Garden City: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1913).[1] In this same work, Wilson also wrote the below:

Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.
